I hope you don't mind if I double post this stick. The snake is a Diamondback rattler. I burned the pattern using a small writing tip and a spade shader. The picture is new.

I like it nicely done Ron.

Good job on the woodburning very realistic work. My favorite tip is the writing tip I use it the most.

Thank you Mel and Kathy. I'm new to woodburning and had a difficult time getting the darkness consistent.

Wonderful walking stick and you did a fine job of woodburning.

It really just takes practice to get the burning right.

Thank you Nedra. The burning is a little inconsistent as I was experimenting and changing techniquye along the way. But, as you say, practice, practice, practice.

Hi Lindy,

Thank you. I hope to get better as I do more burning and less carving.

I forgot to mention I visited your website and love your art, especially the First Nations "talking sticks. Sticks are my thing.

[Lindy]

Hi Ron - thank you for your compliments. Those talking sticks are great fun.

Keep up the good work - I look forward to seeing more of your stuff.

Lindy
